JPY Currency Strength Comparison for Mean-Reversion Signals

Summary

The Power of JPY indicator is described as a measure of the yen’s relative strength, calculated from closing prices of seven currency pairs that contain JPY. The document proposes comparing the strength curves for the base and quote currencies of a forex pair. For a pair such as XXX/YYY, the user places the XXX strength indicator first and the YYY indicator second.

The stated interpretation is that curves close together imply a higher probability of the pair rising, while curves far apart imply a higher probability of it falling. The author presents this as a possible mean-reversion input and cautions against using it without broader market context, such as support and resistance zones. No formula details, test results, thresholds for “close” or “far,” or risk controls are supplied, so the signal’s direction and usefulness need independent verification before trading.

Key ideas

• The JPY strength measure uses closing prices from seven pairs containing the yen.
• The proposed method compares strength curves for a pair’s base and quote currencies.
• Close curves are associated with a possible rise, while widely separated curves are associated with a possible fall.
• The document recommends considering support and resistance context and gives no performance evidence.
